Thanks a lot Scotty Well, I'm not as manual as you mate and my poor'ol wimpy, Da Vinci designed AP1600GTO, doesn't particularly struggle I'm a hybrid between the good'ol days of eyeball guiding a single 2hr exposures (that turned out to be out of perfect focus and more than slightly trailed) aaand modern autonomous, preprogramed mega scripts that do everything without any input at all... imaging
